KIPA Air Filter Assembly for Carburetor 32/36 DGV DGEV DGAV - Washable

In this review of the KIPA air filter assembly, the bottom line is clear: this is a practical replacement for owners of Weber-style 32/36 carburetors who want a washable, durable filter that restores breathing performance. The reviewer found it especially valuable for small engines and classic cars using 32/36 DGV, DGEV, DGAV and 38 DGAS carburetors, because the kit includes the mounting gasket and hardware needed for a direct fit. For someone who prefers a reusable filter element and stainless mounting parts, this assembly delivers reliable airflow and straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Washable filter element: The cleanable filter reduces replacement cost over time and is easy to service for regular maintenance.
• Complete assembly: Includes spring washers, lock nuts, bushings, bolts and mounting gasket so the unit can be fitted without sourcing extra parts.
• Carburetor compatibility: Sized and shaped for 32/36 carburetors and compatible with 32/36 DGV, DGEV, DGAV and 38 DGAS models, ensuring correct fit on supported units.
• Stainless steel plate and buckles: Metal plate and mounting buckles resist corrosion better than plated alternatives and maintain a neat appearance.
• Compact filter dimensions: The 1 7/8' tall by 4 1/2' by 6 3/4' element provides the physical clearance and airflow profile expected for these carburetor applications.

Who It's For

This assembly is aimed at DIY mechanics and classic car or small engine owners who run Weber-style 32/36 carburetors and want a reusable air filter that restores intake flow. It suits people who appreciate a kit that includes the gasket and mounting hardware so installation is straightforward and parts fit correctly.

It is not ideal for users who need a completely scratch-proof cosmetic finish or who require nonstandard hardware lengths; some customers noted the supplied bolts may be longer than desired and the filter surface can show scratches during handling. If pristine cosmetic finish or tailored hardware length is critical, consider a different option or plan to swap hardware.
